The 2022-23 college basketball season is underway, and the No. 12 Texas Longhorns officially opened the Moody Center in style with a 72-57 win over the UTEP Miners.
Here are a few quick thoughts from Texas’ win.
It was the first game of the season, and you could tell. The chemistry was off a bit, guys weren’t quite in sync offensively, and the consequence was a relatively sloppy game in which Texas committed 15 turnovers and shot just 28.6 percent (4-14) from deep. The defense didn’t go anywhere after last season, but offensively, there’s a bit of work to be done, and that’s honestly to be expected with several new faces in key roles.
